Final Thoughts on the Toolbox - CLP Way

Community Learning Partnership's experience - Final Thoughts
We have found that the toolbox has enabled us to:

• Review what we use that became hidden from 'plain sight' & pass on to our 'discovery scout' to share
• Commit a member of staff as a 'discovery scout' to tell us what he has seen in the project and report back to us
• Discover what tools being explored by others
• Have a source of reference for future

This is the beauty of the 'Hive effect'. Sharing a collective goal that nurtures Collaboration, Co-discovery & Contribution.

Legacy, sustainability & the curation effort

Community Learning Partnership (CLP) have really enjoyed putting staff and resource into this project. We have been inspired and would like to see it continue after.

However, we are aware about the time & effort behind reporting the use of newly discovered tools. We experience a time lag between the capture of interesting tools (via the use of social bookmarking site Diigo - via a specific group set up for this project's purpose) and their dissemination - on this blog. In the case where staff require support/training with tools, we will be more than happy to share them in an expanded way. Otherwise the captured tools that are examined for their potential utility will be saved for posterity in our Third Sector Tooblbox Diigo Group. We have more tools and articles than we have been able to share here.

 You're invited to a reduction of effort in sharing your discoveries
So I cordially invite you to find out a bit more about Diigo (on this site), and if you wish to join our ThirdSector Toolbox Diigo Group you are welcome to request an invite. We can socially bookmark, hightlight, make notes on tools that we all co-discover, with much, much less effort. I have outlined CLP's workflow approach to sharing, hope you find it useful too.

One of our member's of staff who is obsessive about open-source, cloud tools, and new ways of enhancing learning will continue to populate this group as he makes new discoveries. Will you leave our lone ranger on his own? ;-). Who knows what he will discover next.

May you all continue to make fantastic new discoveries that makes your learning and teaching practices more engaging and inspiring.
